The Inside of Out by Jenn Marie Thorne
3.0
Daisy's best friend Hannah comes out to her the summer before junior and Daisy has decided to make LGBT rights her new cause. Hannah is not as enthusiastic about it; she is more than just her sexuality. Daisy leads the charge by attending an LGBT group, not an ally group, only those on the spectrum are invited. Daisy wiggles her way in and finds out that same sex couples are not welcome at the school's dance. Daisy has found her cause, she will fight the establishment and get the same rights for her friends. Daisy's passionate fight for these rights turns the head of local journalism student, Adam. The two have a romantic spark, but he thinks she is a lesbian and her fight for these rights turns into a social media storm. Everyone joins the debate with people drawing hard lines about the issues.
I really high hopes for this novel, perhaps that is my bad. I felt that the main character was too whiny and disconnected for me to like or root for her. I thought this was an interesting concept, but I wish for a better framework around the perspective.
